And free guest passes for our summertime guests to any of the 3 nearby Chalet Village clubhouses** (**important information at bottom of this description about clubhouse accessibility), featuring outdoor swimming and other amenities, all courtesy of our affiliation with the Chalet Village Owner Association. With summertime quickly approaching, now is the time to book your getaway with “Bearly Afraid”, before peak dates are gone. We have updated our chalet with new log furniture in 3 of our bedrooms to further give you the culture & ambiance of The Great Smoky Mountains. In addition, we have added new log coffee & end tables, 3 tier shelf, & area rugs. “Bearly Afraid” is a pet friendly* home attractively located in a unique vacation/residential area (Chalet Village) right on the main road that traverses Gatlinburg's western slope, and from the back deck and living room windows there's a gorgeous view of the eastern mountain ridge and third tallest peak in the Smoky Mountains - Mount LeConte. The large wooded lot provides excellent privacy & beauty, and noise is practically non-existent in this area. This entire chalet is perched over a sloping landscape for eye catching beauty of Mount LeConte, and is located only 7-10 minutes from both downtown Gatlinburg and Ober Gatlinburg . The chalet is a beautiful, overly decorated, two story chalet, with two full levels (almost 2000 square feet). The outside features a stained log look, while the inside boasts workmanship of tongue & groove walls, as well as new decorative wallboard. The center-of-room stone fireplace adds for a cozy & evening romantic getaway, and it's not unusual for the moon to slowly drift across all the front room windows in almost every season, adding to a spectacular visual delight on clear nights! Whether you're a small group of four, or a large family/friend group, “Bearly Afraid” offers four private bedrooms throughout the chalet which can easily accommodate eight guests, with one full size hide-a-bed on standby for two extra guests, and the second couch can serve as additional slumber pad, for a total of 11 house guests total!! All four bedrooms have cozy queen-size beds, flat screen LED TV’s, ceiling fans w/remotes, closets, and amenities. On the main level are two bedrooms, with a full shower/tub combination bathroom, with black granite top sink. The upstairs bedrooms has a shared full shower/tub combination bathroom with a rustic cabinet and European sink and farm waterfall faucet. Both bathrooms have handheld shower heads for your convenience. In the game room outside the two upstairs bedrooms, you can also see the beautiful view of Mount LeConte. Each bedroom has it’s own name, so you’ll know whose staying in what room! The kitchen has been updated with new cabinets for a stunning rustic look as well as a tin overhang & a tin front decorated island in the kitchen to complete the rustic look. It is complete with all necessary appliances – Refrigerator. stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cooking & eating utensils, & dinnerware. All you need to bring are groceries to fix your country meal. We also feature a full-size washer/dryer in a laundry room just off the kitchen, so you can do your laundry right here. No need to worry about going to a laundromat or packing home unwashed dirty laundry. Just outside the sliding glass doors on our main level deck, are an array of seating rockers for you & your guest to enjoy the view of Mount LeConte. While relaxing, enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying the fresh Smoky Mountain air. Around to the covered porch, and tucked within an ideal spot surrounded by large trees and pines, are two porch rocking chairs for you to sit and enjoy quiet time or read a book while admiring the sound of crickets and locusts on those warm summer afternoons and evenings. We have added a bistro, so you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast, lunch or dinner on the porch, while enjoying the mountain view. In the front room, we've recently added a comfy new couch, which allows for plenty of sitting room for you & your guest. Also on the main level is the décor that makes it feel like you’re truly in The Great Smoky Mountains & is decorated to let you enjoy the rustic life, but has those modern conveniences tucked in as well. We have a highlighted ‘tool’ wall, ‘ski’ wall, ‘fishing’ wall, & ‘hunting’ wall to highlight activities in the area. Each room is equipped with high speed WiFi and Cable TV, which exist throughout the chalet. Just 3 miles away is Ober Gatlinburg, a sharp and modern ski resort with top shelf ski slopes, a large indoor ice skating rink, restaurants, lounges, and even a bear zoo. The aerial tram to Ober Gatlinburg, takes you directly to the heart of downtown in 10 minutes, and you can walk throughout downtown Gatlinburg with its numerous shops, sights, and restaurants. This chalet has been known for its bear sightings & the reason for its name, hence its name “Bearly Afraid”. We supply a high powered “Bear Light” just as extra convenience, in addition to the already well lighted entry and parking area(s). Please just remember... DO NOT FEED OR APPROACH THE BEARS. Since “Bearly Afraid” is privately owned & managed, prices are competitive, with special ‘seasonal offers’. Since this is a new rental in the Gatlinburg area, we don’t have a lot of feedback as of yet, but we are sure that we offer one of the best decorated chalet in The Village as well as The Smokies to help you encompass the culture of the area. But most of all, we invite you to come see why “Bearly Afraid” is the only mountain chalet that is your country home away from home for your vacation! *We are pet friendly. Dogs only.

Nice cabin in a great location. Wonderful view from the deck. in general a great stay and wonderful cabin. Driveway is kind of steep, even for the mountains, and the cabin, although clean as far as "normal use" is concerned could use an in depth cleaning, due to all the dusty items contained in the interior and the carpet. The front door is also in need of some repair. All in all a nice cabin with all needed amenities. Would definitely recommend.

Great location with bears prowling the neighborhood checking out garbage cans. A mom and 3 cubs hung out in the yard for a bit while we watched from the balcony. They have no interest in humans so we were able to get a lot of cute pix! The cabin feels like we were staying in Tennessee and was loaded with local decor. Very nice kitchen and table with benches. We used the grill and the stove. Plenty of hot water and 4 cute, comfy bedrooms. 15 minutes from everywhere including Dollywood. Seclusion without inconvenience. Everything we were hoping for! Owners were very accommodating and thoughtful.

First of all, the day of checkin, we get there & the cabin is still dirty from the tenants before us. Took us several calls & messages before we got a call back from the owners. After speaking to them, they told us the "new" cleaning people got the days mixed up. We had to wait almost 2 more hours before they got there to clean. I will say they did a good job cleaning...what they cleaned. The cabin in general is so over decorated, there was no room for us to put our own stuff away. No closet room, no dresser room, etc. We lived out of our suitcases for 5 days. Everything was so covered with dirt & dust and the carpets were filthy with stains. The rugs laid down over the dirty carpets were all rolled up on the ends & everyone kept tripping over them. We couldnt use the hot tub the 1st night, it was broken. The owners did get someone there that night, but then we had to deal with a repairman for hours on end. Not how we wanted to start our vacation. In general, I was quite disappointed. This was not a "cheap stay" but it sure was far from what I expected for the price. If you want a clean, well maintained cabin, this is not it. I can say that the view is spectacular though, so that was nice!

Great location with amazing views. Plenty of space. Easy to find. Hot tub was nice. Everything worked as described. It is "overly" decorated, however, its quaint and not a problem. My only suggestion is that it is dusty and could use a good thorough cleaning.

the property location and views were great. the amenities were also great and had good communication with the host for questions. no issues with any of the house appliances or anything. the only issue i had with the property was the decor, and only because the just wasn't much room for "our" stuff including room for food. Not complaining because the description does say "overly decorated", but if im staying there i need room for my stuff too.

Great cabin, with gorgeous views. We even had a bear right in front of the porch deck! (So take the warnings seriously!) We loved that we were able to fit the entire family (of 9) and the pets comfortably. The cabin was also really close to downtown. The only thing I would improve would be to have less tchotchkys. There was very little room to put any thing on the dressers/side tables, etc and with little kids around, it was always a worry that something would break but there was NO other safe place to move them out of the way. Overall, a great place that I would recommend to others!!
5.0
great cabin and the decor was fantastic. each room is themed different. had games and a pool table. we even saw a bear in the first couple of hours and one day we saw a mama bear with two cubs under the balcony. the view of the mountains was fantastic. will definitely be staying here again.

This is a fine cabin with a great view. Kitchen is excellent. I could have wished for some closet space for hanging clothes but other than that this is a great spot to stay for a vacation trip!

Property is great. Million dollar view. Great price. Great communication with owners if there are any problems. Driveway is steep and a little uneven if you have elderly that have some trouble getting around is the only warning I’d give.
4.0
The property was good, overall. It could have used a deep clean, but for the price, we can’t complain. The owners are super nice and communicated well. It was close to all go the tourist spots, which was a huge plus. The only real negative is that while the listing is ‘pet friendly’, the property itself is not. We had a hard time trying to find a good spot to walk our dog. I would rate our stay a 4 out of 5. The rate, compared to other properties in the are, was a definite win.
5.0
We loved staying here. The place was clean and close to everything we wanted to do. The hot tub was great. We had bears by our cabin every day, usually in the morning. It was difficult to play pool at a couple angles but still doable. And a few rugs were curled up that we had to be careful not to trip over. Other than that, this place is as wonderful. Great communication and very quick to respond. I would recommend!

My family and I had a great time at this cabin. It had everything we needed and plenty of space for our family. Future guests... Do not take the "Keep your car locked" lightly. We had a memorable experience with a bear getting in to one of our vehicles. All is well and nobody (including the bear) was injured. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

We had a great time. It was our first trip to The Smokey Mountains and Bearly Afraid did not disappoint. The views are amazing and we saw more than our fair share of bears on the property. We would definitely stay again if we return to The Great Smokey Mountains. It is centrally located to all the sites and attractions. Some helpful hints: back into the driveway - that could mean driving g past the house and coming back down the mountain to the house depending on Which way you come in. It may seem like a hassle but it is worth it and bring bug spray or a citronella candle. We left both for the next guests!

Cabiowas very nice and the house was neatly decorated in a mountain theme, the only issue we had was parking, the driveway was situated so that you basically had to back in just so you could get out other than that we had a nice 3 day vacation

This was an amazing cabin. The directions nee to make it clear that from the road you can only see the back of the cabin. My only complaint is that it was very clutter there were too many Nicknacks everywhere and the pool table should be downstairs and the dinner table upstairs so you can have room to play. But we really enjoyed our stay.
